Gemini CLI Chrome Web Store subscribe

How to: Gemini CLI Chrome Web Store subscribe

client:Gemini CLI transport:streamable-http tool:subscribe

Add Chrome Web Store to Gemini CLI

  1. 01

    Open ~/.gemini/settings.json and merge this in. Keep any servers already there. 

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "chrome-web-store": {
      "httpUrl": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/chrome-web-store/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Gemini CLI.

  2. 03

    Ask for something subscribe does. Gemini CLI lists the server's tools on connect and calls subscribe itself — you do not invoke it by name.

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that Chrome Web Store's identifier in your config matches the one above exactly.

Gemini expands $VAR and ${VAR} inside env values, so a secret can live in your shell rather than this file. Gemini CLI docs

Set these first

Chrome Web Store will not start until these are set, so subscribe never becomes available.

Same tool, other clients

This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 14 November 2026. It is what the server actually exposes, not what its listing claims.

Mutating and Read-only are read off each tool's name, not its schema — a hint, not a guarantee. The registry stores tool names only; connect the server for its live schemas.
